Abstract


Despite the creation of KeHNA, KURA and KERRA road infrastructure projects constructed by local firms, Kenya continued to face several challenges that led to poor performance of the projects in that on average only 39.4 percent of the road infrastructure projects constructed by local firms in Kenya were completed within the budgeted cost and scheduled time. This study sought to establish the influence of facility security management on supply chain performance of Ministry of Roads and Transport in Kenya. The study was guided by Resource Based View Theory. The research used a cross-sectional survey design. This study adopted a positivism research philosophy. The unit of observation in this study was the three road construction agencies which are the Kenya National Highways Authority, Kenya Urban Roads Authority and Kenya Rural Roads Authority. On the other hand, the unit of analysis was management employees working with the three agencies. The study mainly focused on Procurement and supply chain Officers as they play a critical role in providing the requisite data and information for the finalization of the research. Therefore, the target population for this study was 280 Procurement and supply chain Officers. Using Mugenda and Mugenda (2017) formula, the sample size for the study was 136 Procurement Officers. Quantitative data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques which are frequencies, mean, standard deviation. Inferential statistics which include Pearson correlation and the Regression Analysis Model was used to test the relationship between study variables. To test moderating effect the study used hierarchical regression model. The significance of the model was tested at 5% level of significance. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 26. The study found that facility security management is statistically significant in explaining supply chain performance of Ministry of Roads and Transport in Kenya. Based on the findings, the study concluded that facility security management positively and significantly influences supply chain performance of Ministry of Roads and Transport in Kenya’. The study recommends that the management should conduct a thorough security assessment of all facilities and locations within the supply chain. Identify vulnerabilities, potential threats, and weaknesses in the current security infrastructure. This assessment will serve as the foundation for targeted improvements
